Balestrate Hotel Guide - Beach Hotels in Balestrate, Palermo

Wanted overnight stay prior to picking up car hire. Comfortable and clean and fairly close and quiet.

A charming hotel placed high on a cliff-top between the town and beach. Facilities are basic but good, other than the pool which is excellent. The staff were all extremely helpful and we were made very welcome. The main beach is a ten-minute walk along a fairly busy road, but with lovely views over the sea. The town a ten-minute walk the other way, with the harbour area about 15-20minutes from the hotel. The hotel has a private beach, but it is rather small and looked fairly rocky - brilliant for exploring, but a bit "rustic" for us. Completely recommended.

It's a three star and B&B only. But the location is very central to Castellammare Del Golfo and the staff are friendly and helpful

This hotel was close to some good restaurants and a lot of the sites that we wanted to see for the day so we were able to walk to everything pretty easily.

Ok for the money. Staff were nice. Rooms had no safes or real security ....for the centre of Palermo. Breakfast ok. Good locstion

we used a variety of hotels throughout our whistle stop tour of Sicily. Staff here the most fluent English speakers and very friendly/helpful. Room a tad smaller than others and the shower cubicle definitely small but very clean and comfortable otherwise. Breakfast probably the least generous of all the hotels and tinned fruit rather than fresh not good. Still overall a pleasant stay

We recently stayed at the above Hotel. We stayed in a large clean comfortable room with two large double beds. The room had great views of the surrounding countryside. The facilities are excellent with easy access to the surrounding area and the rest of Sicily (must have own car). The hotel has a great swimming pool and plenty of room for parking. During our stay we decided to have a breakfast buffet everday which was excellent. We'd like to thank the warm and friendly staff, in particular Maria on front of office desk in the mornings. Great stuff.

All in all, a good place to stay. The hotel was a bus ride (shortish - maybe 20mins) aways from the centre of town, and near to the big park and so it was quiet as a result. Even late at night - it was perfectly safe as we were out in the non-touristy part of Palermo. Very handily, nearby there were supermarkets, tobacconists and other typical little stores that let us feel right at home :) Parking, once explained, was simple. We did have some problems with the fridge (which did get fixed) and a blind on the windows (which did not). This didn't really detract. We would stay there again.

Excellent Hotel with a friendly staff in a quit area. Palermo? A fantastic an beautiful city!

The hotel interior was of a good standard, but outside of the Hotel is the main vegetable market which opens quite noisily at 3.30 in the morning, and when walking about the area their is vegetable matter all over the roads & paths Staff helpful and courteous apart from the Restaurant which was overly expensive and the staff in rush to get home and rushing me to finish, with out being offered a desert.
